• Computer HP laptop, does not accept the recovery disks and don't accpet Windows Vista upgrade (HomeP to ultimate).

  Apparently the upgrade does not recognize that Windows is on the drive, but cannot restore the original software as HP blocked their recovery disk. The recovery partition is there, but he cannot get starter.  The recovery disks have the original spirit operating system Windows - how can I get the upgrade to recognize?

  Hello

  an upgrade must be done from vista, NOT operating system by booting from the disk to upgrade

  My deep gratitude in advance to all.

  Hi mate

  It's very old portable machine and I'm afraid that you would not be able to order the recovery for this laptop m disk.
  You will need to install the Windows operating system using a disc of Microsoft.

  On the European driver Toshiba page, you will be able to find the drivers and software for this laptop.
  You must choose Archive product Type, because the old drivers are placed in the archives.

  You will find USB - FDD driver. When you connect the USB floppy drive to the laptop it is ask for a TEAC (mainly in Europe) driver or a driver of YE-data (mainly Asian). Please check which of the drivers you need by connecting the laptop floppy drive to download the driver.

  You will also find companion diskette. The accompanying disk contains programs to configure computers Toshiba installation information and to test the equipment. It also contains files and utilities that allow you to get the most out of your Toshiba computer.

  Hi scoobydoochick,

  1. what recovery disc do you have?

  2. you receive an error message?

  3. you see the computer manufacturer's logo while you start the computer?

  Looks like that there are some hardware failure on the computer that is preventing the computer from starting.

  Will need you a Windows vista installation disc as recovery are different from the install disc and restore disks are created by the computer manufacturer, we are not aware of its functions.

  Once you get the Windows vista installation disc, that you try startup repair by using the link below or take the local computer tech shop and the material tested on the computer.

• Can I copy the programs on the recovery disk and then re-install?

  Hello

  I'm confused on the basics of "recovery disc". I have an A200, aged about two years. What I want to do, that is 'clean' the hard drive, which means remove all and reinstall windows. But I don't want to lose a few programs that I have on the laptop (that is, Photoshop and another called Corel Painter).

  Is it possible to save these on a recovery disc and then put them on once I cleaned the PC?

  > Is it possible to save these on a recovery disc and then put them on once I cleaned the PC?
  Something like this is not possible.
  You can use it to have the State of plant again and again, but some sort of change or extension is not possible.

• How to delete files on the recovery disk?

  I'm running out of space on my recovery disk.  I noticed that the compress and the index of the boxes are both checked.
  I would like to know what to do and how to delete files on the recovery drive.

  Thank you for your help.

  It is very unwise to delete these files, because it is your ONLY way to recover your PC in the event of catastrophic problem with the operating system that cannot be repaired by returning your PC to set up "out of the box.  In fact, most of the PC with a recovery partition you cannot save data on that partition.  If you are still determined to do the easiest to remove these data is boot safe mode with command prompt.  Set up the focus on the recovery partition and delete everything form the command line.  I'm not trying to be insulting, but if you don't know how to do that you probably shouldn't be remove your data from the recovery Partition because without falling back on you should have to be pretty savvy to reload Vista and install all the drivers on your own.  Locutys of Borg

• Satellite C650 - error reading disk and the recovery disk does not work

  Hello

  I have a toshiba Satellite C650, who has recently developed with a disc read error. I want to access the command prompt to try some possible solutions I've read on the internet.

  I made a Windows 7 recovery disk using my other acer laptop which has also installed Windows 7 64-bit. When I use the recovery disk and it loaded the files etc it evokes just a black screen and the cursor.

  Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening?
  I tried to start my computer acer laptop from the recovery disk and it worked fine.

  As is - this does anyone have suggestions as to why I get the message "disk read error - press ctrl, alt and delete to restart?

  Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

  On this virtual path, it is not easy to offer the exact diagnosis, but of course, there must be a problem with the HARD drive. Can you get a second one for test purposes and exchange it. Just to be sure if the HDD is troublemaker.

  But there is something else:

• My e-machine computer broke down and I'm unable to access the recovery partition. How can I reinstall my operating system?

  I have an emachines el1200-07w that crashed. It has windows Vista Home Basic. I can not access the recovery partition and emachines has no recovery for this model CD. can someone help me?
  original title: windows vista problem

  Hello

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  As happened with eMachines, you may have to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  See you soon.

• Satellite A100 PSAA9A - drivers and applications from the recovery disk

  This laptop was reformated HARD drive and I decided to try Windows 7 (beta), which is currently installed and working well. I would like to install the original drivers and applications from the Toshiba recovery disc but I don't want to reinstal the operating system (XP). Is this possible?

  As far as I know that is not possible because applications from the recovery disk and drivers are for Windows XP and they are not compatible with Windows 7.
  In addition it of not possible to install the only special drivers or applications from the recovery disc.

  You can download all the drivers and tools on the site of Toshiba, but I doubt that it of compatible with Windows 7, but you can try it out and post your result here.

  7. Satellite M300 - how do I back up the data before using the recovery disk

     Hello everyone,

     Today, I closed my laptop Toshiba Satellite M300.
     Just after a few seconds, it automatically in service and reported some "boot error".

     She also suggested I put on the recovery CD. When I put the CD, nothing happened.
     After awhile, I read the instructions in the CD cover that says that I have to hold the C button and it will start the recovery process.

     How the process goes, the system told me that all the files that I had in the computer would be removed.
     Is it possible how I could back up my documents before as I recover my Vista?

     I would be very grateful if someone could help me!

     Sincerely,

     Milan

     Hello

     If I understand correctly, you are not able to boot into the Windows operating system; According to the normal starting procedure or by using safe mode. Is this good?

     If Yes, then I don't see many options to get access to the files on the HARD drive.
     What you could try is to remove the HARD drive and use an external USB 2.5 enclosure to connect the HARD drive on another computer.
     Then you could test whether it is possible to access the HARD disk and save the data.

     The Toshiba Recovery disk does not any option that allows you to save the data, the drive formats the HARD drive and erases all partitions.

  8. Re: lost recovery disk and partition recovery

     My daughter managed to destroy Vista on her laptop. Problem now is that she can not find the recovery disk and formatted the whole c: drive. Is it possible that she can get the operating system from somewhere, because she still has his serial number... good job, he's stuck at the bottom of the lappy.

     As I see it, you have no more options like:

     1 the order [Recovery disk | https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx] Toshiba for the money and wait 2 weeks
     2 get Windows copy to install. All the drivers/utilities Toshiba you can download it from [Page Driver Toshiba | http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp]
     If you need assistance in order to install driver, can help you

     The product key that she belongs to original recovery image, that you got with your laptop and it is not a universal key that you can use with each installation of the OS.

  9. Re: Satellite M35 S359 - 'machine wrongly' while trying to use the recovery disk

     I used it several times without fail. After that the laptop started acting a little strange recently (malware maybe) I decided it was time to rebuild. This time, I had 'bad machine' attempt of recovery CD error. I installed the brand new Toshiba HD, but still the same error message.

     I've searched and searched and find it is a 'classic' error but with many varied suggestions correct - which none had me up and running.

     So I hope someone can point me in the right direction.

     THX.

     Hello

     It is model Toshiba U.S. and so I looked on the Toshiba page for some suggestions.
     And I found this doc from Toshiba:

     [How to eliminate the error message "Machine hurt" during the restoration of the image of the software factory (recovery CD): http://askiris.toshiba.com/ToshibaSupportSite/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=1031 711xml & sliceId = & dialogid = 59324518 & stateId = 1 0 59322815]

     As suggested in another thread, the information stored in the DMI may not correspond with the info on the recovery disk and so this message appears.
     I don't know if the doc of Toshiba will help you but it s worth a try m.

     If you will not find a good tool DMI, then you will need to request the ASP in your country a DMI update!

     Good bye

  10. Satellite M300 - how to use the recovery disk

      Hello world

      I was wondering how to use the 2 recovery discs that I burned recently if I wanted to fix my USB ports (as seen in my Toshiba M300 - wire to USB ports)

      Any suggestions?

      Hello

      You can use the only recovery disk to reinstall the whole OS!
      This means that the use of the recovery disk will format the whole HARD drive and will set the laptop back to factory settings!

      If you want to use the recovery disk and then insert it into the ODD and the start-up of this disc.
      Then the installation of the OS should move forward and you should follow the instructions on the screen.

      All that s
